Well, I think that instead people should be more accepting towards others' personal imperfections. Political correctness should be avoided at all costs because it's by definition a kind of dishonest manipulation.


I don't think it's "political correctness" to prefer not to be verbally abused. Linus has admitted that he doesn't care about people:

Okay? And? Nobody said that. I was replying to someone thinking we should have a more 'politically correct' open source face.

Please try and understand what is being said before replying.


I did "try and understand" before reply, but sometimes it is difficult to discern exact meaning. You said we should accept others imperfections, so I'm assuming you meant Linus' imperfections. That is what I was replying to. I don't think it's acceptable that people should be verbally abused, and we shouldn't "accept" it as you say.
